Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
DENVER, Col, August 30.-The fol-
lowing was received to-day from Glen
wood Springs, Colorado, under date of
August 90:
To Colonel Chapman, Denrer.
Phil. Foote has just come in. He
left Meeker at Z 80 this morning and
brings no dispatches, as a courier left
half an hour ahead of him.
ANOTHER ENGAGEMENT.
A messenger from Rangely reached
Meeker just before Foote left who re-
ports that the Indins were moving
east from Rangely, where the troops
are entrenched. He thinks that fight
ing has been renewed. Major Leslie
had parley yesterday. The Indians
reported fifteen killed and six who
will die in little while.
STRONG LANGUAGE.
"They said: "Damn cowboys,
Foote, Utes put on soldiers clothes, f."
and they demanded a return of their
horses. Major Leslie stated that the
horses will be given up if Colorow and
the two indicted Indians were surren-
dered. This they positively rejected
and the pow-wow broke up. The
courier ought to be in shortly.
PLENTY OF WARRIORS.
Foote says that there were about
100 Indians in the fight, but that dur
ing the night and following morning
they received reinforcements and the
country was alive with them.
(Signed) Brooks,
Major Commanding.
LATER-BACK TO THE RESERVATION.
Information has just been received
that all the Indians have been taken
to the reservation by the troops ex-
cept few old men and women who
were left behind to care for the
wounded who were unable to be
moved. The report, however, has not
been confirmed.
PREPARING FOR THE Pow-wow.
Governor Adams arrived at Camp
Adams last night and General Crook
is expected some time to-day. Adams
has sent a courier to Colorow to ask
him to meet himself and Crook for a
peace council.
TERRY's TELEGRAM.
WASHINGTON, August 30.-General
Terry telegraphed from Chicago to the
War Department to-day requesting
that Agent Byrnes be instructed to
move from his reservation all intrud-
ers, civil and military.
MUST KEEP WITHIN THE LIMIT.
The authorities of Colorado in their
excitement may forget that the State
writs do not extend beyond the limit
OF the State, and precipitate a general
outbreak on the Indian reservation by
crossing the border.
THE PRESIDENTS ORDERS.
Telegraph instructions were sent
this afternoon by the President to
Governor Adams, to confine the ac-
ton of the civil authorities strictly
within the limits of the state.
CoLOROw ANXIOUS FOR PEACE.
/ General Terry telegraphs from Chi
cago to the Adjutant General that he
has received a dispatch from Com
mander Randlett, dated Fort Duchesne,
saying that Colorow and his followers
are now at the Ouray Agency, and
manifest disposition to remain on the
reservation. The militia and cowboys
hold 100 horses and 1000 sheep and
goats belonging to Colorow and Chifte
Ouray's widow.
DISPUTED TERRITORY.
This stock was grazing on land
claimed by the Indians as belonging
to their reservation, and where they
had been permitted by their agent to
live for years. Colorado settlers have
claimed the locations then and have
succeeded in driving the Indians in.
CoLoRow NOT INTERESTED.
Colorow has not in this trouble been
on the war path, and has made his
way to the reservation avoiding hos
tilities as far as possible.
